Nilfisk Aero 21 5 Gal. Professional Wet/Dry HEPA Vac

So happy wi with this product. Very compact doesn't take too much space the suction is phenomenal. Hose is very long and so is the cord. Wet/dry vac if you need one this is it.

This vacuum has changed my life! It is one of the few that is actually safe to use in pottery studios. I have a home pottery studio and this helps keep it spotless. I use it constantly throughout the day while I work, and it's been going strong for years. I even use it throughout my whole house from time to time. The suction is not super powerful if you're using a proper bag and the right filter, but it doesn't spit any dust back into the air at all. I recommend it to all my potter friends!

This vacuum is supposed to be designed for collecting hazardous materials like asbestos. However, it does not come with any instructions on how to handle the disposal, nor does it include information on which bags should be used for these materials. Additionally, doesn't have a gasket to seal the canister, also when the hose is detached, the inlet to the bag containing the asbestos is left exposed. How will asbestos fibers be contained? Furthermore, the hose does not have any locking mechanism; if the hose is pulled, it will simply detach from the vacuum, again releasing asbestos fibers into the environment.

My wife is petite, so I needed a light vacuum that fit her cleaning habit. She has been using this as an "INDOOR" household cleaning vacuum for laminate floors and horizontal surfaces only versus construction or workshop, for about a year so far: cord=GOOD suction=GOOD bags=GOOD Rollers= GOOD, hose=GOOD, NOISE=tolerable, HEPA=GREAT, weight=GOOD, color=GOOD, construction=GOOD. *** HOWEVER *** due to lack of abuse from a busy workshop my review is limited. This vac was purchased as a home vacuum to vacuum mostly clean laminate flooring. It has not been used as a wet-vac. It serves our purpose and is easy to maneuver. check all your options, most people don't buy this as a home vacuum. The reverse air feature is nice to have. The price is, in my opinion, a little hefty!

Love this vacuum. First the HEPA was a must as I use it to clean up pottery droppings and dust in my environment is not good. I have not had any blowback dust in my studio using this system. I had been using another brand but the electric cord and the wand were not as long and it was questionable on dust returning to the atmosphere. The wand and cord on this vac are what drew me to purchase it. Unfortunately, upon arrival the wand had been crushed. I could use the vac with only the hose. I wrote the company and they made it right. It took them 2 weeks but I did get my wand. this is so quiet that it makes you think it can not have that much power. HA!. It has very very good suction and the head is perfect at picking everything up. Great product I would (have) recommend to friends and family.

Quiet odorless bend in the handle is a little tight plugs sometimes overall good vacuum

My studio no longer feels like it has silica dust hanging in the air

My son just bought a house and I wanted to give him a practical gift that he could use for many years. When I unpacked it I noticed that there's no good place to hold most of the attachments. I like the size of the unit, but next time (other son?) I'll buy a FEIN Turbo i that seems to have thought this out better. Although HEPA is nice, it's not necessary for most homeowner applications
